Ticking Along

 We are now starting to harvest some mushrooms, more and more are popping up each day, Martin is having them for breakfast, it seems they have survived the cat assault.

 Corn on the cob are also becoming a regular harvest, I will have to pick and freeze some tomorrow as there is a now a few ready, as I am away for a few days from wednessday I dont want them to go past there best.

The bacon is out of the cure, wrapped in muslin and needs to hang for a while before we can start slicing into it.

Its been a very relaxed couple of days, Martin swept out the chimney for the Rayburn this morning, he has also been doing some concreting in his workshop area, we did also trim up the lambs bottoms, they had been moved onto fresh pasture and the result was dirty bums, now they are nice and clean again, I have had a couple days doing bits of sewing, I felt really tired it seemed like a long two weeks that Martin was away, now re-couped and raring to go again, we have just had an evening trip down to the beach, a very pleasant evening.
